Digital Wireless Handheld System Built for Professional Performance
The Sennheiser EW-D SKM-S BASE SET is a digital wireless audio system designed for presenters, performers, and production teams who need reliable handheld wireless operation with professional sound quality. This system pairs a rackmount receiver with a rugged handheld transmitter that accepts interchangeable microphone capsules, giving you the flexibility to choose the capsule that best fits your application while maintaining consistent wireless performance.
Clear 24-Bit Audio with Wide Dynamic Range
This digital wireless system delivers 24-bit audio with an exceptionally wide 134 dB dynamic range, allowing it to handle everything from quiet speech to powerful vocals without distortion or manual gain adjustments. The result is clean, natural sound with excellent detail, making it well suited for live performances, corporate events, houses of worship, and educational environments where speech clarity is critical.
Fast Setup with Smart Frequency Management
The EW-D system is designed to simplify wireless operation, even in crowded RF environments. Its equidistant tuning grid spreads 2,240 frequencies evenly across a wide 56 MHz bandwidth, reducing intermodulation issues and eliminating the need for complex frequency coordination. This allows up to 90 wireless channels to operate simultaneously while maintaining dependable signal stability.
Handheld Transmitter with Interchangeable Capsule Support
The included handheld transmitter features a durable metal housing and an interchangeable capsule design, giving users the freedom to select from a wide range of compatible dynamic and condenser capsules. A built-in mute switch provides convenient on-mic control, while the transmitter’s robust construction makes it suitable for daily stage use and touring applications.
Reliable UHF Transmission with Intelligent Diversity
Operating in the UHF band, the EW-D system offers a stable wireless connection with a working range of up to 330 feet line of sight. Intelligent switching diversity continuously evaluates incoming signals from dual antennas to reduce dropouts and interference. With an ultralow 1.9 ms latency, performers experience natural, immediate audio response without audible delay.
Bluetooth Control and App-Based System Management
Bluetooth connectivity allows the system to be configured and monitored using the Smart Assist app on a compatible mobile device. From frequency setup and pairing to battery monitoring and muting, key system functions can be managed remotely. This streamlined workflow makes the system accessible for both experienced audio professionals and first-time wireless users.
Rackmount Receiver Designed for Installed and Mobile Rigs
The half-rack receiver is housed in a durable metal chassis and includes a rackmount kit for permanent installations or portable racks. A high-contrast OLED display provides clear visibility of RF status, audio levels, and battery information. Balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4-inch outputs ensure compatibility with a wide range of mixers and sound systems.
